rt11 and disk images

[Erin W. Corliss]

(writer bites his tongue to keep from ranting about paying $100 for an
operating system for a computer that cost $12 at a second-hand store...
8^)

So I went back to the junk store yesterday and found a TK25 tape drive,
which appears to work fine with my PDP-11/73.  It also uses the same
cartriges as my SCSI tape backup drive...  Is there a DOS, Linux, or
windows NT program that I can use to save files to tape so I can load them
on the PDP-11?  When I initialize a tape, is the format standard among
other computers, or is it specific to PDP's running RSTS?  

Is there any way to make Unix 7 use RD hard drives?

...and most importantly...

Everything for PDP's seems to be distributed on disk images for drives I
don't have.  I think I saw something somewhere about being able to mount a
.dsk file as a virtual drive under RT11...  Anyone know if this is true?
